Baseball -

huge contracts and low physical requirement while barely punishing to the body. How many torn ACL/MCL's you ever see in baseball.

Sign me up to play left field, 3rd base or short stop.

Golf by a mile. Longest career, ability to set own schedule, huge payoff for elites both on and off the course.

All of this.

Elite golfers can compete real well into their 40s and beyond. There's even a senior circuit after that. They seem to have better/more prospects with endorsement deals. Health wise, there's a good chance of a bad back, but that's better than reconstructed knees.

Just going strictly by what I'd want to play though, I'd want to be an NFL running back or OLB.
 
basketball.

you have to be in some of the best shape to play high level basketball, so it would keep your body in top notch condition. most basketball players live long lives and are extremely healthy in their later years, especially compared to the guys who take beatings in hockey and football, and you can just be a fatass and still play in the MLB.

that or golf.

This and it's not even close. I play any chance I get for free and love every minute of it. If I could do that and get paid? Hell yeah!! Shit even a scrub on a nba team making a mil a year would be a dream come true.🙂

Yep. If I could mimic the career of any NBA player it'd be Brian Scalabrinie. Dude breaks a sweat twice a season in games and still banks over a million a year.
 
Golf or a major league baseball relief pitcher

Golf means I get to work/vacation all around the world and I get a huge pile of money. The risk of injury is low and I can pretty much work my own schedule.

MLB relief pitchers play for ten minutes 2-3 times a week and still bankroll millions. Great gig.
 
Soccer. The sport sucks, but you make stupid amounts of money, and bang some of the hottest chicks on the planet from any country.
